Famous Movies You Didn't Know Were Remakes · 4:51pm Jun 7th, 2023
Remaking movies is nothing new in Hollywood. Here are some very famous examples.
The Ten Commandments (1956 remake of a 1923 film by the same name.
Ben-Hur (1959) remake of another 1923 film by the same name.
The Wizard of Oz (1939) remake of a 1925 film by the same name, which was, in turn, a remake of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1910) (there was actually an entire series of Oz films in the silent era). So the Wizard of Oz movie we know is actually a remake of a remake.
In addition, you can add The Sound of Music, which is a remake of a German film released a few years earlier.
Brian de Palma's Scarface was also a remake.
Truth be told, I was surprised to learn that 'cause I didn't know there even was a 1930s film with the same name.
Remake is different from adapting the same source material.
